Re: [Cz-L] After we go.

Dear Mordechai,
 It is your decision ,whatever it may be .
   Whatever you decide , it will be the right thing to do.
   If you go - don't miss the latest movie in the Temple.
    Fraternize with the waiters in restaurants.
     See the Jewish museum in the two room accommodation
    in the Kultusgemeinde . The admitted part of our history.
     Drink Kwass on the street corner.
      See your house if admitted , if not - from outside..
       Take pictures of your house. Use high resolution shots
       you can better scrutinize at home.
        See the cemetery , try to find family graves.
         Drink Kwass again .
          Go up and down the Hauptstrasse.
         Admire the Shevchenko statue on Ringplatz.
          Honor the Red Army memorial on Austriaplatz.
             Visit the city bazaars where you have the biggest choice of
bridal
      gowns of Eastern Europe !
        Drink another Kwass , no other place to find such.
          Have a good time.
 Hardy
